Re: The good TV thread...

...takes half a series to fully tune-in to the dialogue

It's slow at times but has an overarching storyline that lasts the full 5 series.. more like a long book than a TV series, so none of the instant gratification afforded by stuff like Breaking Bad etc. That's what makes it so good IMO.

Just starting watching The Wire, had to download the one with subtitles as I had absolutely no idea what they were jabbering on about.

haha seems to be a common problem with oldies. But otherwise? How's it working out for you? You have to be patient with it, it's very dense - but the pay off is worth it with the last three episodes of every season.

Orange is the new black is decent - great baps all over, also good if you want to get the missus involved in your tv watching. Drunk History is kinda funny, but I wouldn't marathon it, once a week types.

Tried to give newsroom another chance with the new season, keep passing out hard half way through episodes, but that's also because I'm smoking some great ganj at the moment. OMG11!! He called the tea party the american taliban - fuck off.

Dexter's final season is an absolute shambles and I cringe through each and every episode... fucking deb should just be shot execution style, that would be its only saving grace.

I expect you probably have a separate detached house in the Cheshire countryside given the burgeoning Emporium empire BF, but I can't help imagining you in a classic chippy, sat in the back which doubles as your living quarters, watching a tiny portable telly, totally ignoring the shop until the lunchtime rush or a customer comes in.
